Spotted this on the internet the other day, its called the Growler E and is a Swiss company's version of the E type to mark its 50th. What do you think of it? Good interpretation of the original or just rubbish?

Did he, must have missed that. I think it looks great have you seen how much it will cost though? £640,000-£850,000!!! Just think of the amount of penny sweets you could buy with that!

Agreed, that is a bit too much money. There are plenty of serious hypercars available for less money! The top end is in the same bracket as a veyron and if I was ever rich enough and mad enough to spend that amount I think the Bugatti would pip it.

However as I only deal in 100's not 100's of thousand's I need not worry! Very Happy
